"Words had to change their ordinary meaning and to take that which was now given them. Reckless audacity came to be considered the courage of a loyal ally; prudent hesitation, specious cowardice; moderation was held to be a cloak for unmanliness; ability to see all sides of a question, inaptness to act on any. Frantic violence became the attribute of manliness"

Dorner was doing it wrong

For all Freepers are insisting all liberals love Dorner, they sure seem into his tactics:

That isn’t the way we fight. Booby traps. Watch house from outside. neighbors join. We don’t have everything figured out,but just shooting into a horde of armed anything is just committing suicide. And, as Churchill said, fight anyway, even if you know you may lose, because living under tyranny is not an option.

Considering the American response over the last few months, I have the feeling that in the circumstances you describe it will not be the citizens who have to hole up and try to survive. I bet they would go on offense and stay on offense until the threat of tyranny is over and its willing agents and complicit parties are room temperature, just root them out and destroy them once and for all. Hopefully it never goes there, but that’s what I think awaits any would-be Mussolini and his minions.

"I remember when the anus was something your waste passed through, and wasn’t exactly a place to play around in.

The world sure is changing."

I think the one subject there seems to actually not be a hive mind on at FR is porn. Well... let me rephrase that. I think the one subject there seems to be TWO opinions on at FR is porn. Iceland considers banning it, all the weirdos come out of the woodwork:

"A ban on not attending church would be more helpful."

Boy scout leader arrested for child molestation, of course. This is somehow Obama and the left's fault.

allendale imagines a study and then immediately dismisses his own imaginary study:

"Someday a study will be done asking homosexuals how old they were when they had their first homosexual tryst and how old was their partner. Then there will be little doubt about homosexuality. Of course such a study will never be done."
